Hi @iammash @Yambanso_Kausiwa

This issue has a pending solution, and there might be a workaround for you to solve this locally until that solution is rolled out.

Here’s a workaround:

> [@RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded Error when I run d2 app scripts init my-app](https://community.dhis2.org/t/rangeerror-maximum-call-stack-size-exceeded-error-when-i-run-d2-app-scripts-init-my-app/49023/3):

> Hello @Gassim Thanks for the support steps. However the above steps didn’t work. I had to delete the findYarnLock function in the path.js file under C:\Users\MY PC\AppData\Local\Yarn\Data\global\node\_modules@dhis2\cli-app-scripts\node\_modules. After deleting that function I was able to create my react app successfully.

The pending PR is here:
